Eternal Vows
Eternal Vows.
With tears in her eyes,
Life takes her last breath,
and before closing her eyes forever,
she says:
I solemnly swear that I will come to you,
ready or not.
I will give up and fulfill your dream to have me forever,
from the moment of my last breath to eternity.
Do you, Life, take Death as your eternal partner?
To love and to hold?
To cherish and honor?
To give darkness and silence?
Life would want to escape,
but it is her destiny;
there is no extra time.
Since the moment she was born,
he knew sooner or later she would come to him.
He’s been waiting patiently for her to live,
to dance, to love…
In her deepest dream,
he stalked her.
When her pain and heartache were painful,
she wanted him.
She doesn’t know how dark the eternal sleep will be;
she dreams of light and peace.
With a place full of love and joy.
But she is afraid of that darkness and
silence will be all around.
Until the faithful day arrives,
She will dance and live.
She will smile and love.
Knowing a merciless groom,
is her shadow, looking over her,
waiting for the moment when
he will become her everlasting lover,
when we will have her,
and not letting her go.
